Thanks for all of the feedback on the previous chapter, it was nice to read all of it and this will be the second part of the 7:th chapter, that is day 4. There might not the reaction that you first thought that it would be, or at least it might not be seen in this chapter.
I would love to get to know what you think of this chapter and if you have any ideas on what you would like to happen or read and I will do my best to try and write that in, I have an idea on how I will spin this but it is always nice to see some other in put too.
I kind of hope to have the next chapter up during the weekend but that all depend on the weather and the inspiration I get to write.
Chapter 7 Part 2
Rachel was almost stoic; she didn't know what to say, or how to react. Quinn, who was standing next to the brunette, wasn't sure if Rachel had heard her.
"Rachel, is there anything that I can do?" Quinn asked as she tried to lead the brunette of the stage so that the two of they could sit somewhere, and talk. Quinn looked up at Puck who was one there as a part of the camera crew, she didn't have to say a word to him.
Puck was on the way to leave the two of the alone but Quinn somehow managed to get him to stay, she wanted to have most of crew gone, but she knew that this was something that needed to be on tape.
"How could they do that?" Rachel asked she let her head rest in her hands as she leaned forward; she was almost hiding her face in the palms of her hands.
"I don't know." Quinn answered, even if she was pretty sure that the question didn't have to be answered, it was probably the only thing that Rachel could think of to say.
A few minutes passed by and there was a silence in the room, neither one of them had an idea on what to say or how to react to what just had happened, but as soon as Rachel realized what really had occurred less than an hour ago, she flipped.
It was like a light switch had been flipped. "They can't just do something like this." Rachel screamed, looking around trying to figure out where to look and who she should yell at. "I am Rachel Barbra Berry." Quinn looked at the actress, she was almost sure that she could somehow end up in the crossfire of what was going on.
"Maybe we should try and leave." Quinn said as she avoided having eye contact with Rachel was she had said those words. "You might feel better if you were home."
"You just keep your mouth closed." Rachel snapped as she looked at Quinn. "You can't imagine what I am feeling right now…" Quinn sighed, she had no idea on how she should be acting, and she didn't know Rachel, not as a friend and she knew that the girl's best friend had left the room as soon as they had been told that the show was over. "… so don't try and figure me out and fix this." Rachel stood up and walked through the door, she stormed out; it reminded the blonde of how it had been sometime when they had been in the same room in High School and Quinn could tell that Rachel had perfected the storm out even more since those days and she couldn't help but to smile. At least some things still stayed the same.

Rachel had left the building, she stood outside of the theater, she wanted to scream, she wanted to hit someone but there was not a chance in the world that she could do just that, she needed to keep it all together, there was a camera crew that was following her and so did Quinn, it was almost all too much for her.
She found her phone in her pocket, she needed to make a call and someone was going to be on the other end of her anger, and it might not be the right person but she knew that Mike would be able to take it and then make her feel better, that was what she needed.
She had dialed his number and he picked up the phone after the first tone, for Rachel it was like he had been waiting for her to call and that didn't make this situation any better for her but she didn't have a chance to say anything.
"I didn't know about what they were going to do." Rachel could tell from his voice that he was telling the truth and it made all of this so much worse.
"So what should I do?" Rachel asked as she was on the verge of tears and these tears weren't because she was angry, these were real tears, this production had been her life for a long time and she knew that it was going well.
"You are going to keep doing what you have been doing for the last couple of days." Mike said, and then there was a pause. "And when you are done with this filming that you are doing right now, we will figure it out."
"Thanks." Rachel said and sighed, as she ran her hand through her hair. "I needed to hear that before I go and yell at the rest of the production members."
"Rachel, don't do anything stupid."

Quinn saw that Rachel came walking back inside and she was soon next to her with the camera crew following close behind her and the cameras were rolling.
"You feel any better?" Quinn asked as she was next to the brunette.
"yeah, I just need to have someone to yell at." Rachel said and Quinn nodded as she understood what Rachel was saying, the blonde threw a quick glans towards one of the camera men, and after that she nodded.
"So are you ready to leave?"
"In a minute I just need to go and talk to some of the crew members." Rachel said as she started to walk towards the dressing rooms, she knew that was the place where they all would be.

The two of them were soon back in Rachel's apartment and Quinn knew that this might be one of the best chances that she will get to have Rachel open up to her, and that was what they needed. Quinn wanted and in some way also needed Rachel to open up to her about what she had been going though in High School and how she had managed to keep going and focusing on what would take her away from Lima and to New York.
It was something that Quinn always had been jealous over, Rachel had always known what she wanted to do with her life and how she was going to make that happen and she had kept herself true to who she was.
As the two of them sat down on the couch, the blonde didn't have a chance to ask or say anything to the other girl before she was pouring her heart out, it was like there was a dam that had been opened and everything was just flowing out from her and it looked like Rachel didn't care about what was she was saying or what kind of words she used.
"I hate them." Rachel said, she was almost sobbing at this moment; she was angry and sad at the same time. "I can't understand why they would do something like this." Quinn was starting to get confused about what Rachel was talking about, her first thought had been that Rachel had put this debacle from the theater behind her but now it looked like she had been bottling it all inside of her until she had gotten home.
"You know you can just talk and I will listen." Quinn said, she had used her own friends to unload these kinds of things on and if Rachel was anything like Quinn herself was then she needed someone to take all the things that the diva had held inside.
"I know that I kind find a new part in a week just like that." Rachel said and snapped her fingers; Quinn could tell that Rachel knew that she was wanted. "But the rest of the cast might not have the same luck…" tears were falling down the brunette's cheeks, Quinn had never seen this side of Rachel and she guessed that it wasn't that many people that had seen this side of the girl. "…this was going to be their big break…" Quinn wanted to tell her that everything was going to be okay but she never had a chance to say anything. "… and they just pull the carpet from right under our feet."
"but you will have one more show right?" Quinn asked as she used her thump to dry some of the tears away from Rachel's face. "A last good bye, a thank you for this time."
"Where did you get that from?" Rachel asked as she looked Quinn in the eyes, she could see that there was something hiding behind those hazel eyes.
"I thought that you would have this week's performances to do." Quinn said as she looked at Rachel's face it was something in the diva's eyes that drew her in and didn't want to let her go. Her eyes were telling Quinn a story that had yet to be told in words.
"No, they are shutting it down." Rachel said and blinked a few times, trying to get the tears to not fall, she didn't want to cry anymore.
"I'm sorry about that." Quinn said as she bit the inside of her lower lip, she wanted to ask Rachel about the High School experience but she wasn't sure if this was the right time, she wanted to know about all of it.
The two of them sat in silence for almost an hour, Quinn could hear Rachel almost letting out a sob sometimes but she had no idea on how to approach the brunette, she wanted to call Jesse, who she now knew was a great friend to Rachel.
"You don't have anything to be sorry about, Quinn." Rachel said as she glanced up at the blonde that was sitting next to her on the couch. "You are not the one that has done anything wrong." Quinn had to swallow a big lump that she had in her throat, she wanted so bad to say something but she knew that if she said anything this moment that they had would be over faster than she could say, pretty much anything that you could think of.
"I know that this might be a bad time to ask this." Quinn said and she closed her eyes, taking her lip and biting it, she had to do this even if she didn't want to. "Maybe you could tell me about how school was for you."
"not tonight." Was all that Rachel said and she left the room, with Quinn sitting alone on the couch, that had been an answer that Quinn hadn't expected but maybe it was because of what had happened earlier this day that made Rachel feel like she could tell Quinn about that.
"I'm sorry." Quinn whispered when she thought that Rachel couldn't hear her. "For everything."

Rachel turned around as she heard what Quinn whispered, she wanted to say something but she wasn't sure on what she was going to say to the blonde. The only words that escaped from her mouth were two words that she had never thought that she would say to Quinn.
"I know."
